YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER
A chronometer is a high-precision instrument that has successfully passed
the entire battery of tests imposed by the COSC (Swiss Offi cial Chronometer
Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests
each movement according to the prescriptions in force.
The certifi cation test for wristwatch chronographs with quartz oscillators
consists in observing each movement for 13 days and 13 nights, in several
positions and at 3 different temperatures (8°C, 23°C, 38°C). To earn the
prestigious chronometer label, a movement’s performances must meet 6
very strict criteria, including a daily variation in rate of within ±0.07 seconds,
corresponding to an annual precision of ±25 seconds. The variation in rate
of the SuperQuartz™ calibre fitted in your Breitling watch far and above
exceeds these demands, achieving a level of ±15 seconds per year.
The term “chronometer” should not be confused with that of “chronograph”,
which is a complicated watch fitted with an additional mechanism used for
measuring the duration of an event. A chronograph is not necessarily chro-
nometer-certified, but all Breitling chronographs carry the much-coveted
title of “chronometer”.
PREPARATION FOR USE
DATE ADJUSTMENT – TIME-SETTING
1. Pull the crown out to position 2, and turn it clockwise
to adjust the calendar to the day prior to the
activation date.
2. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands past
midnight so as to make the calendar jump to the
correct date. The adjust the hour and minute.
3. Push the crown back into position 1.

th
H DIAL
Your Breitling chronometer is equipped with a scale dividing the hour into
hundredths,thus making it easier to read off the minutes on a decimal base.
E.g.: 0.6h = 36 minutes
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
SUN COMPASS
Your Breitling chronometer may be used as a sun compass, thus enabling
you to determine North and South. For regions that have instated daylight
saving time, subtract one hour when aligning the watch.
In the Northern Hemisphere
Point the hour hand precisely towards the sun.
In relation to the watch dial, the point located midway
between the current time and 12 o'clock indicates South,
North being exactly opposite.
In the Southern Hemisphere
Point the hour-marker located at 12 o'clock on the dial
precisely towards the sun. In relation to the watch dial,
the point located midway between the current time and
12 o'clock indicates North, South being exactly opposite.

BATTERY END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR (EOL)
The watch movement is fi tted with a battery end-of-life detector (EOL),
signalled by the small seconds hand beginning to jump every 4 seconds.
The battery must be replaced within the next few days by an authorized
BREITLING agent. Also ask for a water-resistance test to be performed on
the watch.
MAINTENANCE
Your Breitling chronometer is a sophisticated instrument which is constantly
subjected to a wide variety of stresses and strains. Within a very small volume,
a large number of components contribute to handling all the functions.
Their mechanical action inevitably leads to a certain amount of wear and
tear, which may be controlled by maintenance consisting of relubrication
and replacing worn components. Like any precision measurement instru-
ment, your watch must be regularly maintained in order to function at its
highest level of potential: the frequency of this operation varies according
to actual use. Breitling or your authorized retailer will be happy to handle
the procedure.
WATER RESISTANCE
The movement of your chronometer is protected by a complex case fi tted
with gaskets to ensure its water resistance. Under the infl uence of various
external agents - perspiration, chlorinated or salt water, cosmetics, fragrances
or dust - these gaskets gradually deteriorate. That is why water resistance
cannot be permanently guaranteed. If used intensively in water, we recom-
mend having an annual water resistance check conducted. In any event, such
an appraisal must be done every two years. This operation, which takes only
a few minutes, may be conducted by a Breitling authorized maintenance
centre, or by an authorized retailer (www.breitling.com).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Used batteries and used watch components should
not be disposed of like regular garbage, but be cor-
rectly recycled. We recommend returning them to
your point of sale. You will thereby contribute to
environmental and public health protection.

Breitling models are water-resistant to varying degrees. The extent of the
water resistance, expressed in metres (M), is a standard value and does not
indicate an absolute immersion depth. The crown and pushpieces must not
under any circumstances be operated under water or when the watch is wet.
The table below indicates the conditions in which your watch may reasonably
be used, according to its degree of water resistance:
ACTIVITIES / DEGREE OF WATER RESISTANCE 3 bar/30 M/100 FT 5 bar/50 M/165 FT 10 bar/100 M/330 FT 50 bar/500 M/1650 FT+
Splashing
Shower, swimming, surface water sports
Water-skiing, dives, snorkelling
Diving
USEFUL TIPS
Breitling genuine leather straps are crafted with the most refi ned materials
and represent extremely high-quality products. Like all objects in natural
skin (shoes, gloves, etc.), their length of life varies considerably, according
to the conditions in which they are worn. ln particular, water, cosmetics and
perspiration accelerate the ageing process. A metal or synthetic Breitling
bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving frequent contact with
water or moisture.
Breitling metal cases and bracelets are made from the fi nest alloys and
guarantee sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and
brushing in clean water will keep your watch shiny. This operation is strongly
recommended after each immersion in salty or chlorinated water. For watches
tted with a leather strap, the same advice applies, as well as avoiding
getting the strap wet.
WHAT TO AVOID
Like any valuable objects, Breitling chronometers deserve special care. It is
important to protect them from jarring and knocks by hard objects, and not
to expose them to chemical products, solvents, dangerous gases, or magnetic
elds. Moreover, your Breitling chronometer is designed to run smoothly at
temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
